Luckily for you all, half of my games just hit the night phase, so I've got plenty of time to do a thorough read-through of what I've yet to digest.
If you care to know, I spent Friday afternoon to Saturday night in Boston on a Student Government retreat, and spent Sunday getting settled back down in my apartment which I never really settled into when I moved back to school. Fun times.
Post is going to be a stream-of-consciousness and a lot of different things. Ask me if I need to clarify anything anywhere.
Jack's role-setup guess is bullshit, and should be taken as such.
SIR CYANIDE and Jack, cut the personal insults bullshit.
SIR CYANIDE, you're wrong. Confirmed townies are terrible for scum, and if they don't have a roleblocker, even worse. They limit the lynch pool and force them to pick their NK between a confirmed townie who they can't get lynched or a cop who could investigate them and could be drawing the protection of a roleblocker.
If there are 10 people tomorrow (assuming one kill party, no successful prots and a lynch today), the cop has a 20% or 30% shot at giving us a guaranteed scum. And our odds are either 20% or 30% of hitting scum in a completely random lynch. If a cop investigates an innocent, our chances jump 25% or 38%. That's a big jump.
This scenario doesn't consider that we have a falseclaim (which then the scum have to give us confirmed townies in order to continue their living pretty much).

Speculation like this is bad.
What I will go out and say is mini's generally have 2 or 3 scum, depending on the roles and such. So it is safe to assume that. Other than that, it is not safe to assume any roles' presence or absence in a closed setup.
Also, this post shows a fear of committing, which is generally an indicator of scum.

If he's a VT, that's great. And why should we ignore it, to be quite frank? I mean, ffs, it's a claim. This ISN'T something that should be ignored.
@Mod: Please prod/replace Vivi57, and can we get more frequent VCs? Either the top of every page or every 24 hours would be nice.
My current thought is one scum is caught between Coug and/or Buttonman - both of them want to keep discussion regarding the claim silent. I understand people dislike rolefishing. I personally don't care, but I also like mountainous setups, and rolefishing can actually hurt scum if you have solid pro-town VTs, you then manipulate their kill pattern, so it can be fun.
Anyways. I'm gonna go with TheButtonmen. He has had very limited posting in which he hasn't provided much content, jumped to a terrible conclusion about something (we aren't the only site in the world that plays Mafia) and is trying to squelch what I feel should be well-embraced discussion.
Vote: TheButtonmen
